FAQ's on Lapezil 5mg Tablet 10s

Does Lapezil cause depression?

No, Lapezil does not cause depression. If you are experiencing symptoms, then it could be due to existing Alzheimer’s disease.

Why is Lapezil taken at night?

Lapezil is recommended to be taken before going to bed to reduce gastrointestinal side effects or nausea, which is commonly seen in some patients in the first few weeks of treatment.

Who should not take Lapezil?

Lapezil should not be taken by patients who have hypersensitivity to Lapezil hydrochloride, piperidine derivatives, or to any active ingredients used in the medicine. Also, it should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary.

I have been taking indomethacin for arthritis. Can I take Lapezil?

Lapezil does not interfere with the working of indomethacin, but indomethacin individually increases the risk of stomach bleeding when taken for a long time. Therefore, if you experience any symptoms of stomach bleeding, consult your doctor immediately.

What if I take more than the prescribed dose of Lapezil?

Taking more than the recommended dose of Lapezil may cause vomiting, increased sweating or saliva production, slow heartbeat, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, seizures or fits, weakness, and inability to control your bowel motions or passing of urine (incontinence). You should seek immediate help from a doctor or emergency service of a nearby hospital.

How long does it take for Lapezil to start working?

Within the first month of treatment with Lapezil, you may experience improvement in thinking and remembering (cognitive effect). However, it may take about 12 weeks to see the full benefits.

Can it cause insomnia?

Yes, insomnia (sleeplessness) is a common side effect of Lapezil. Dizziness and fainting can also be seen as common side effects. Though these side effects are common, they do not occur in everyone.

For how long does Lapezil stay in your system?

Lapezil gets removed from the body very slowly. It takes about two weeks or more for Lapezil to be completely removed from the system.

When should Lapezil be stopped?

Do not stop Lapezil without consulting your doctor. This medicine only helps to control your condition but does not cure it. Therefore, it may take several weeks to show benefits, so do not be discouraged if you do not see an improvement straight away. But, in case your condition starts worsening and you feel that it is no longer helping you, then you should consult a doctor before stopping it.

Do the gastrointestinal side effects due to Lapezil persist for a long time?

Gastrointestinal side effects may appear during the first few weeks of treatment with Lapezil. This can be minimized by taking Lapezil at bedtime and with food. Generally, these side effects are mild and disappear within a few weeks with continued treatment.

Does Lapezil cause hallucinations?

Hallucinations are a common side effect of Lapezil, though not everyone is affected. Other common psychiatric side effects include agitation, aggressive behavior, nightmares, and abnormal dreams.
